Video game streaming in parts to reduce latency

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing system including at least one processor, cause the processing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• executing a video game on a user endpoint device, wherein the executing comprises presenting a plurality of assets of game content via the user endpoint device;
• determining that a game transition is detected in the video game;
• identifying, during the game transition, at least one asset of the plurality of assets that is needed to continue executing the video game after the game transition;
• downloading, during the game transition, the at least one asset that is needed to continue executing the video game after the game transition;
• identifying, during the game transition, another asset of the plurality of assets of game content that is currently downloaded to the user endpoint device that is not needed to continue executing the video game after the game transition;
• and
• deleting, from the user endpoint device during the game transition, the another asset that is currently downloaded to the user endpoint device that is not needed to continue executing the video game after the game transition.
